Climbers hike along the ridge of Mt. Korenge (2766 m)
The snow has finally been cleared and the gate to the Renge Geosite has been opened! Enjoy exploring the peak of the Itoigawa UNESCO Global Geopark this summer, starting with a visit to the Renge Lodge and Hot Springs.
Renge Lodge
And don’t just hang out at the lodge! Not when the outstanding beautiful Renge Hot Springs are out there to enjoy.
Renge Hot Springs – Yakushi-no-Yu ‘Waters of the Healing Buddha’
Only a 5 – 10 minute hike from the lodge, the four outdoor baths at Renge Hot Springs are truly open baths. Located on the side of the mountain, there are no changing rooms here! Just strip off and enjoy the majesty of nature from a natural spring bath above the clouds.
Trek the vast wetlands of Heima-no-Taira
In addition to trails up to the peak of Mt. Korenge and Mt. Shiroumadake, the region has many nature trails through forests and wetlands.
